The world is changing. We live in a fast-paced global environment, where jobs are being created that until recently hadn't even been imagined. Employers need recruits who can adapt to change and lead companies into unmapped territory. This means getting a world-class education - one that will equip you to solve the problems of the future.

That's why, in 2008, the University of Melbourne led the most significant curriculum reforms ever seen in Australia. We moved beyond the traditional Australian education system, bringing our degrees in line with those of the best international universities in North America, Europe and Asia.
